Join the Divine Dance | Seventeen pt. 4

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.

Amen.

Message | Join the Divine Dance

This week Glenn and Carl sit-down for a table talk based our time in Jesus’ prayer in John 17. One of the main themes of John 17 is the oneness of Jesus and the Father; this oneness has been called the Divine dance by some of the earliest followers of Jesus. As followers of Jesus we are invited to join this Divine dance.

Formational Learning:

As we explored the concept of the Divine dance in John 17, what stood out to you?

Were there any points of curiosity, clarity, confusion, or conflict that emerged as you walked through these stories?

(Head)

What does it look like when salvation is connected to being present within a particular community and not a sinner’s prayer?

What does it look like to join the divine dance with Jesus and the father?

(Heart)

One of the side effects of consumeristic Christianity is when something inevitably comes that we don’t like, it becomes Jesus & me instead of Jesus & we. How have you experienced this tendency?

(Hands)

How can we invest ourselves in and expand the areas we are rooted in and the family of FōS?

Our Benediction

May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you: wherever he may send you;

may he guide you through the wilderness: protect you through the storm;

may he bring you home rejoicing: at the wonders he has shown you;

may he bring you home rejoicing: once again into our doors.*
